In fact, he said a mheshimiwa . Therefore, we must follow the health protocols. We cannot be leaders who are breaking the rules. What example will we be showing the country? The curfew starts at 9.00 p.m. and we must go home. That is my concern.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue I was raising is that we also have evictions that are caused by natural disasters, like the floods that we saw in Nyando in Kisumu County and in Cherondo in Tinderet Sub County. There are many people in areas across the country who have been evicted by the natural disasters that have happened.

in Uasin Gishu, the Petition of Karebe Goldmine in Chemase, Nandi County has never been reported; there is not even a supplementary Statement on the same. Those people have been waiting for around two years now. Secondly, the issue of Mau; the Chair of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources must look into that issue to bring it to a conclusion. What we are seeing in Molo, Nakuru is happening silently in Mau as we talk today. It is fair that when the Cabinet Secretary comes in tomorrow, I request that we have the entire Plenary where all ...
